The hand is from one Croatian site. Can't track stats and most players are recreational. Will try to replay the hand with screenshots.

Preflop:

MP Open limped, Hero raises to 3bb, SB calls, 2 folds.

Flop:


SB checks, Hero bets 5bb, SB calls.

Turn:


SB checks, Hero bets 13bb, SB calls.

River:


SB checks, Hero bets 19bb, SB raises to 38bb, BTN???

Preflop: I isolated MP fish. Since I don't have a premium hand and MP and SB are midstacks, decided to make it 3bb.

Flop: Cbetting for value.

Turn: Cbetting for value.

River: Cbetting for value. I think I should have made it a bit bigger. At that point I wanted to make sure that he calls Jx, but he will probaly call anyway. Also, he has alot of two pairs in his range now. When he decided to minraise, I'm afraid of QT and 76 mostly, but he also could have slowplayed JJ (if didn't 3bet preflop) and 88. He could definitely have 99, too. Overall, I think he has enough two pair hands and some randoms to justify a call.

I like your preflop reasoning. It is like music to my ears. Getting 4% of stacks in with a small pair preflop is pretty much right on the spot. This way you can stack them and actually expect to have the best hand if all money goes in postflop. Smaller preflop investment, and the likelihood increases that you face nuts if all goes in, and a bigger preflop investment ruins implied odds.

I'd play to get stacks (they are only 75 bb!) in postflop, even more so because he is likely to be recreational, and also since my (and your!) preflop sizing was designed to set up for this.

Either villain comes from a long way and keeps hoping 2 streets with QT here or hits 2p. Either way, a minraise I would call here.

He probably has 67, i would say bet folding is the best option, but the stacks are too low for that your river bet should of been a shove, you still get called from AK-Kj-K8-J8-J9-Kc9c-89

I dont think he is ever raising a worse hand, then yours.
